I know that this is a hard paper to write for someone, but I have no time to complete this. I am a 27 year old male who lives in Western Mass. I have grown up playing baseball, and love to meet new people and socialize. My dad passed away when I was 13 and I have a younger brother who is 25. We have a great relationship!
The World Health Organization’s working definition of sexuality is: “…a central aspect of being human throughout life encompasses sex, gender identities, and roles, sexual orientation, eroticism, pleasure, intimacy, and reproduction. Sexuality is experienced and expressed in thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviors, practices, roles, and relationships. While sexuality can include all these dimensions, not all of them are always experienced or expressed. Sexuality is influenced by the interaction of biological, psychological, social, economic, political, cultural, legal, historical, religious and spiritual factors.” (WHO, 2006a)
In short, sexuality is a complicated subject. Each of us has a unique sexuality based on our experiences, knowledge, and personality. Sexuality encompasses a person’s gender, gender role, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexual preference, and how they affect emotional, physical, social, and spiritual life. Human sexuality is the total of our physical, emotional, and spiritual responses, thoughts, and feelings. Sexuality is more about who we are than about what we do.
Based on this broad view of sexuality, discuss YOUR understanding of YOUR own sexuality, how it has been developed or impacted, and how it relates to the broad definition. In your discussion, be sure to differentiate between sex, gender, and sexuality, as well as be able to describe the interaction between these three concepts. Consider the different dimensions (ex. biological, psychological, social, political, etc.) and how they impact sexuality in general and/or your own unique sexuality.
